The Painter Artist

HOUCINE ZIANI There is no secret It’s simple My painting is figurative and therefore accessible to understanding

JUNE 2021

I have always painted the same way I started at the beginning, since I was a child. To paint correctly, that was my leitmotif. I was just enjoying myself without worrying about what others would think.

GF&B MAGAZINE | Issue 5

JUNE 2021

G.F.B: What is the artistic particularity that you have adopted to embody your works in order to communicate your passion to those who are passionate about art? HZ: I didn’t purposely adopt a particular artistic style to make my way. I have always painted the same way, I started at the beginning, since I was a child. To paint correctly, that was my motif . I was just indulging myself without caring about what others would think. I didn’t have a strategy, I just wanted to be myself. The public comes to the artist if the work of the latter is of aesthetic quality, regardless of the genre or school in which it is enrolled. Then, of course, we add artistic originality, stylistic innovation and the subject matter. This is what makes an artist stand out among art enthusiasts. What motivates an artist most is to move forward and build an audience with the passion he has within him. This is what makes his authenticity and this is what drives him to create and assert himself. The artist does not create with the primary intention of pleasing or making others happy. He does it first for himself, out of an often pressing need. He responds to his emotions in front of what amazes him or what moves him, in a positive or negative way. He is curious to see the still unexplored part of the world by himself. This is his first muse. Once the work has been created, he shares it with others. G.F.B: Each of your works of art has become an icon of past and present stories. What is the secret of your inspiration?

HZ: Behind all success, there is long term hard work. You can’t build anything without serious work, willpower and a lot of sacrifice are the only guarantees of success. If you have the gift and live your passion deeply, everything will end up culminating in consecration. Also, I can add this: the larger the windows facing the outside, the more light that enters through.

HZ: There is no secret. It’s simple. My painting is figurative and therefore accessible to understanding. It is conventional writing, I would say universal, if it deals with subjects touching human history, it challenges even more. it is true that much of my work finds its inspiration in historical subjects, in which many people identify with them. I have dealt with unifying themes, such as subjects drawn from the history of religions or national heritages. I had the privilege of illustrating the national history of my country, Algeria. This pictorial production, which lasted about ten years, now reflects the historical past of an entire people. It is natural and human that people look at these works as if they were looking in a mirror reflecting their past.

G.F.B: Realism and Abstraction are both linked to each other ... Which one comes closest to the integrity of your work, to immerse in the history of civilizations?

G.F.B: Arts schools have personalities who have known various fortunes. What are the factors that brought artist Ziani’s work to this fame?

G.F.B: What are the works that have taken you the longest to find their place among art lovers, and which have obtained international awards?

HZ: Between realism and abstraction, there is a whole world, diverse and rich in schools and styles. Some approach and others move away from the two extremes. It is obvious that my work approaches realism, without however being completely inspired by reality. I am not a realistic painter, nor abstract either. I am this painter who has the soul of a poet and who paints the poetry of visible things. It is my childish side that still allows me to dream and marvel at sometimes simple things.

GF&B MAGAZINE | Issue 5

HZ: My inspiration repertoire is wide, it includes a variety of themes. This thematic richness allowed me to reach a large audience. It is true that from one country to another the taste differs. A work can be very successful in one country and not at all in another. But in the same country there are two audiences, if I may say so, there is one with a regionalist taste and there is one with an open mind to the world. The first tastes like tribal and the second universal. If a work quality is slow to find its place with an audience, it is because it has the wrong audience. We must go elsewhere. 12

JUNE 2021

G.F.B: What sets the work of artist Hocine Ziani apart from others artists? HZ: Art critics, art dealers and the general public should be asked this question, on that note, I remember a response from an art dealer in Holland. Having noticed my work in Paris, during an art fair, this Dutch gallery owner took the initiative to invite me to meet him in his country. So I went to see him in his gallery, which he showed me around and at the same time, he showed me some works of the painters he was exhibiting. He asked for my collaboration in the theme of still life, his specialty.

He wanted to add me to his official group of artists, which consisted of Dutch, British, Italian and German painters, all alive and active. Pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the works exhibited, I did not hesitate to ask him this question: “You collaborate with painters who provide you with works of excellent artistic quality, I even admire them, but why did you need my collaboration? His response: «Yes, these painters are excellent, but they do not have the light of Ziani! This is perhaps part of the answer to your question.

G.F.B: Is there a different specificity among fans of figurative art in the Arab world and those in the West? And if not, how are they different? HZ: The difference lies in the cultural particularities of each of these two worlds. In the West, painting is an old tradition and a taste for art is cultivated from childhood, from primary school. Art is present everywhere, in many museums, churches, art fairs, official auction rooms and of course galleries. There are enough offers and demands. Quite simply, in the West, activity in the field of pictorial art is abundant and rich. This is not the case in the Arab world. GF&B MAGAZINE | Issue 5

13 3

The latter is at its beginning. Let us not forget also that figuration has long suffered from some misinterpretations of the Muslim religion. However, in many Arab-Muslim countries, figuration is beginning to take its place so much better. As for taste, to answer your question specifically, I would say that there are some notable differences between an Arab amateur and a Western amateur. As I said above, the differences are obviously cultural. The gaze of the West opens up to many aspects that a painting can carry. Its taste is therefore spiced with different pictorial genres, the history of art, past or current fashions and the different schools that have followed one another. The taste of the Western art lover has been sharpened by time and history. It is also open to the universal. For lovers of the Arab world, the taste is still sketched out and emerging. With the latter, the identity side often takes precedence over aesthetics. Because, he identifies with it above all. The example edifying is the important place orientalism has in the art market. Universal themes, even if they catch the eye of the Arab amateur, by their artistic quality, do not find a place in his home. However, there are some amateurs who collect art for the sake of art. But, these are rare. G.F.B: The media have become a double-edged sword for all artists. How has the media machine influenced the course of your artistic career? HZ: Not every artist, no matter how talented, ideally cannot have a professional career alone. The first key is to ally the services of a good promoter, a recognized art dealer working in a large capital city where art shines. Such partner is capable of making things happen around their artist. It is he who aims to showcase the art he presents and from which he takes advantage. The artist’s only vocation is to create his works. I remember my first meeting with my first Parisian gallery owner. It was in 1992. I had just arrived from Algiers and I did not know the art world, neither in Paris nor elsewhere in Europe. Before meeting the one who was to become my first gallery owner, I had made some contacts with about ten others. For ethical reasons, I had to choose only one gallery. So far, my prospecting for a few days had given me satisfaction, I can say that I was spoiled with choices. However, I was still undecided, because I did not know how to choose the right merchant, the 14

JUNE 2021

right promoter. But when this professional gave me a relevant sentence, I thought it would be him and not someone else. He pulled this out for me: “Mr. Ziani, your concern should not extend beyond the perimeter of your web. The rest is up to me, I’ll take care of anything extra-artistic. My choice had just been made on the spot. I worked for several years with this excellent art dealer, who made me known in France, then in Europe. A few years later, we said our goodbyes amicably. However, we remained friends. In the meantime, I had known another gallery, on a different scale, which took my work to the world.

GF&B MAGAZINE | Issue 5

G.F.B: What do you get from the international titles and awards that you have obtained on a personal and professional level? HZ: A self-taught artist has no diploma or benchmarks other than public recognition and awards given by institutions such as academies or salons of good reference. When he obtains official recognition, it reassures him and rewards him for the journey he has traveled alone. G.F.B: Each successful walk is first exposed to obstacles and challenges such as “The stone that we throw on the tree, to bring down the fruit.” Which one characterizes you? 16

HZ: During my first steps as a professional artist, the first obstacle that arose in my path was the fact that figurative art was not in fashion, neither in Algeria nor elsewhere in the world. It was only later, after the economic crisis that followed the Gulf War, that this art regained its place in the art market. From then on, everything was going well for me. But the other big difficulty, which is sizeable, was the legal vacuum vis-à-vis the status of the Algerian artist. I worked as a professional, I had a clientele, I made a good living from my art, but I had no social protection in prospect. This anomaly eventually made me exile in Europe.

The Pope’s visit to Iraq Between objectives and indications

edia and social media sites in Iraq in particular and countries of the world in general were interested in the visit of the greatest pontiff Pope Francis to Iraq, between the fifth and the eighth step, in terms of time and space in the critical epidemiological conditions experienced by humanity represented by the corona pandemic, where this visit showed the symbolism of timing and humanitarian objectives, as well as interests achieved by both parties, whether they are not exempt from the accompanying political messages, the message of peace brought by the Vatican Pope to the city of Ur. “The Cradle of the Prophet Abraham”. Some Iraqi experts and scholars have preempted many arguments that any message of comfort the Pope sent to Christians in Iraq, many of whom have moved outside the country, due to their fears of the attacks on Iraq. during the last years.

What is the unspoken thing that accompanied the olive branch carried by the Pope from the Vatican during his visit to Mesopotamia despite the epidemiological and security challenge in the region? «With love and peace, Iraq receives the people and the government of His Holiness Pope Francis, to confirm the depth of the human ties which have been and will remain a historic meeting 26 JUNE 2021

President Barham Saleh did the same during his meeting with the Vatican’s Pope. The first day of the visit included “meetings with bishops, priests, monks, nuns, devotees and teachers of Christian education at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Salvation for Syriac Catholics in the district of Karrada, in the center of Baghdad ”. The Papal States is seeking to open up to Muslims around the world, especially Shiites, after meeting with the supreme religious authority of the Shiites in Iraq, Mr. Ali al-Sistani, south of Baghdad.

He then visited the ancient city of Ur, which is a symbolic site GF&B MAGAZINE | Issue 5

for followers of various monotheistic religions, because it was mentioned in the scriptures as the birthplace of the Prophet Abraham, where the Pope asserted The innocence of religions from the practices of extremism and violence came in a unified interfaith prayer in which the Pope participated in the historic city of Ur in the province of Dhi Qar in southern Iraq.

Let’s listen to those who build and make peace! Calling to «fight against the scourge of corruption, abuse of power and all that is illegal», we do not forget that terrorism exploits religion, and it is up to us to protect religion from those who do so. ‘use as a blanket, that’ Muslims and Christians have started to build peace and have worked together to overcome this.»

Pope Francis said: «From this place, from here began the faith and unification, the land of our father Abraham», preceded by a profound message from the Grand Pontiff when he met the Iraqi leaders, saying: «Let the arms fall down!» Let’s stop its spread here and everywhere! Let special interests cease, external interests that do not care about the local population.

Ur was the capital of the Sumerian state in 2100 BC, the home of Zagora Ur, one of the oldest temples in Iraq, and was built in 2050 BC.

28 JUNE 2021

Pope Francis went to Housh alBea Square in Mosul, where he presided a prayer for the lives of war victims in front of a destroyed archaeological church, said that «the tragic decrease in

the number of Christ’s followers here and in all the Middle East, is a grave prejudice by concluding his prayer «for the victims of war and armed conflict», stressing that «hope is stronger than death, and peace is stronger than war». He concluded his visit to Erbil, capital of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, after having organized a mass in the presence of some 10,000 citizens at the François Hariri Stadium, paying homage to Iraq during the mass he performed, last stage of his historic visit to Mesopotamia: “Now the time to return to Rome is near. But Iraq will always be with me and in my heart, ”he said. FM

Nobility without limits

HANA SADIK Amidst crowds of embellished colors and her passion for the treasures of Babylonian civilization glistening with gold and silver, Iraqi fashion designer «Hana Sadiq» with French literature emerged, whose work intermingled between Arab art and contemporary fashion to form a new icon through her unique creations inspired by the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia in particular, and Arab civilizations in general. Documenting the Arab heritage through her creativity in the fashion and jewelry, where she was famous for her distinguished designs on textiles, silk painting and ceramics in the fashion capital “Paris.” She organized fashion shows in Amman, Naples, Beirut and Dubai: What made her creations invade the wardrobes of queens, princesses and ladies of high society ... She is the lady of stones. G.F.B: How did you come up with the idea of entering the world of design mixed with the originality of the past and its Arab cultural heritage? HS: Fashion is an enchanting world which mixes between its folds the feeling of art and our childhood memories, I was taken by this art since young age, with the same instinct it stayed with me today. It helped to settle in the capital of fashion and beauty «Paris», where I lived for a long time. a great nostalgia for Iraq and my memories with my grandmother and her rituals between clothes and ornaments, in addition to my interest in Iraqi and Arab civilization at the same time through my in-depth study of authentic Arab heritage, which honed my talent, in addition to the great encouragement I have felt from my teachers. So I started with a personal effort in which I do not aspire to be my only job, but rather to go beyond the material needed in the first place and especially my pursuit of the Arab woman to have an independent entity, even in her appearance. G.F.B: Each of your creations represents a story, does that mean that your steps have walked towards a minefield, or in a more precise sense, is it a difficult profession? HS: I cannot call it a minefield, but rather real difficulties, 2

it provides them with capacities, creative energies that contribute to building and development. For this reason, fashion is a recording that preserves customs, heritage of the nation, and deduces many social, economic and cultural indicators from them. So most of the designs that I have implemented, whether on fabrics or ornaments, are in fact derived from civilizations of our Arab world, which made the value of their acquisition more moral than material.

due to the lack of schools and programs that reinforce this qualitative exclusivity in fashion, this is what made me devote all my efforts to knowledge , looking for books, Arab museums and even field research. My great love, passion and determination continue to achieve the desired goal in order to reach the world with Arabic dresses, in addition to my constant concern to provide what is best for the tastes of Arab and Western women, to them my creations were a turning point in the world of fashion being a mixture of the originality of the past and the scent of the present. G.F.B: Specializing in the quality of these designs extended to Arab civilization takes patience, time and plentiful money, don’t you think it’s the equation of opposites at the same time? HS: The development of fashion is a phenomenon based on two elements of creativity and tradition, which is often linked to the social, economic and even political situations of people. Heritage forms the consciousness of any nation, especially if it is a living entity in the souls and people’s minds,

G.F.B: Although gold jewelry has importance and status, it is superior to silver in material value, but the majority of your work is focused on silver. What’s the secret to this? HS: Although we are fully aware that the first to discover gold did not believe for some time that this metal would carry a basic monetary value over time, but the physical properties of gold made it a mainstay to prove the commercial operations and guarantee the rights, besides considering it as a standard means of real value for commercial exchanges and it is therefore the monetary interest which gives gold its true value. This is why I see the art in the jewelry that I search for its connotations and talismans that the gold does not keep, because over time it is sold or melted to make another new model, while the silver metal , which has a cheap material value, the woman does not think about selling it, but GF&B MAGAZINE | Issue 5

rather leaves it and gets a new model, for this silver jewelry can be 50 years old, but they have the same incantations as 500 years before. G.F.B:What has the most influence in societies, nationalities and religions in the mindset of designer Hana?

attractive way. It has given me the ability to creatively revive this legacy that dispenses with empty advice from fashionistas, as well as shine a light on the revival of our creative industries that embody the beauty of our human reality and restore our position in advanced societies.

HS: The relationship between fashion and jewelry has become an intimate, seamless relationship that cannot be separated from each other, so we see that fashion is closely related to jewelry, if we go back time, we will find the Assyrian or Sculptures, Sumerian and Pharaonic statues, lies in the way of wearing fashion, such as the dress which is wrapped in a way to allow the appearance of the ulna decorated with jewels accompanying fabrics, or the appearance of bracelets from ankle to ankle is what distinguishes our societies, which enjoy high material income, tend to be glamorous by wearing gold jewelry as an expression of their material wealth. Which gives women a luxurious look that catches the eye.

G.F.B:Are there any indications and talismans in the colors of the clothes when you wear them?

G.F.B:Some of your creations stood out in fabrics on patches as well as in hand knitting (IKAT), which message do you want to send ? HS: My message to Arab societies is part of the preservation of the cultural heritage enjoyed by our Arab societies, as distinguished by its craftsmanship related to clothing, and the hadith applies to the textile industry developing the manufacture of fabrics, such as ikat fabric and muslin fabric, which is made of silk, a name derived from the city of Mosul Brocade, which is made in the Syrian city of Damascus and Tlemcen in Algeria etc ... Even the peasant and Bedouin society, known for its self-austerity, does not waste the scraps of fabric, which it transforms into folk motifs that add a kind of beauty in an 2

HS: Certainly, these connotations and hieroglyphics related to colors have been clarified in my book «Arabic Fashion and Ornaments», especially since we are a society with a distinct identity, a long history and strong roots, which gives color and has the following meaning : White color: Symbolizes purity. It was used by priests as well as by peoples according to belief, especially among the Umayyads during their reign. The color blue and green: Symbolizes a feeling of comfort and tranquility. The Abbasids used green during their reign, while the color blue was common among Christians. The color Yellow: Refers to possession, and jealousy. It was used by Jews of both sexes to get to know each other.

The brown color: Symbolizes modesty and high standing.

Or through spinning poems that shed light on the words of ancient or contemporary poets.

The color pink: indicates femininity. The red color: Symbolizes fertility and joy The color black: symbolizes determination, although it indicates sadness.

G.F.B:What is the most important fashion event you have participated that has been a turning point in your designs?

G.F.B:Some of your modern designs have been called Arabic calligraphy, what is the purpose of this? HS: Since I became familiar with Latin letters, I became more intrigued by the beauty of the Arabic letter, the splendor of the word and the depth of its meaning, which prompted me to use Arabic calligraphy in all its forms. , starting with the Thuluth script, going through the Iraqi Kufic script then towards the Kairouan script and even the alphabet of the cuneiform script in order to deliver messages filled with love and humanity, in addition to the beauty that crowns the magic of letter, of the word, that is why it was the beginning of my artistic life when I was a painter, because I used the Arabic letter in my paintings over time, now I embroider Arabic calligraphy on clothes that have become a motif and a mark for my work, for example, a painting (The poor only starve, rich enjoys).

HS: The beginning was in the seventies, during my stay and my studies in the capital of fashion and beauty Paris, where I received lessons in drawing and other fine arts, especially in the technique of painting on silk, which I received from the hands of one of the teachers who recommended me to manually draw silk ties for the international designer «Yves Saint Laurent», where I presented the craft. I was impressed by his designs, which are predominantly oriental. For this reason I made the decision not to follow famous designers closely, but rather the inspiration to do research in Arab museums and books on this heritage in fashion and jewelry, in addition to my many field trips to the Arab countries to identify what remains of originality mixed with the scent of history.

Fine Art cross-border inspiration

MOURAD ABDELLAOUI

Painting is a kind of fine art in which the artist expresses the different themes and sensations to which he is exposed or those which revolve around him through different lines, colors, shapes, and the drawing through which the artist can express the depth of his feelings. Mr. Abdellaoui, thinks that his works are an honest translation of people’s concerns and problems, but with aesthetic and artistic tools, he adds: man does not choose to be an artist, but it is art who chooses the artist.

GF&B MAGAZINE | Issue 5

G.F.B: Let’s start by saying that man does not choose to be an artist, but that art chooses the artist. Do you mean the instinct that is born with man? MA: Circumstances are often harsher than our ability to see our hidden possibilities and buried abilities, but it is impossible for any of us to be devoid of talent whatever the idea, to find it, to embrace it. and to develop it , not to be drawn behind the illusion of choosing talents that are not our own and are not worthy of our physical or psychological capacity only to follow a segment of society. We know age is a collection of experiences, but at least let those experiences lead us to something that we love, it is all experience and good at any age. Therefore, I say that art chooses who is worthy, yes talent is important but most important is hard work and continuous research intellectually, technically and philosophically, so that the professional age of the artist is measured by the moment of his work when he rises to a higher level, this in itself represents a spiritual relationship between the artist and the tools of the work as well as the components. 64 JUNE 2021

G.F.B: To what extent is the artist affected by the real state in which he lives, or does the imagination make him a facilitator of his brushes? MA: Realism is one of the most important schools of modern art because it rejected traditional forms of art and literature that were outdated after the industrial revolution. It therefore replaced imaginary tendencies, religious and mythical drawings with scenes from social, political and economic life, thus combining art and life, most of the school paintings dealt with events in the daily life of workers, peasants, landscapes and everything that happens outdoors simply, realistically and honestly, even if the scenes are unpleasant. Therefore, understanding paintings of realism is simple and intolerable, the scene that the painting presents is more like a photographic image when it comes to capturing and immortalizing a snapshot, this art is much further from that, it is the finest language, the widest house imagined by the simple spirit, depth and rhythm is equal to nothing, and therefore the fine arts are one of the most beautiful that can be practiced, color alone is enough to create change and diversify expression.

G.F.B: Thanks to the electronic revolution and the virtual world, the artist has a large spread space and multiple acquisition markets, what do you comment on this and what are the negatives? MA: Personally, I consider myself to be from this virtual world, which has become like the visa that brought my work and my name to most parts of the world. I got to know everything that is happening artistically elsewhere, to choose the right elements with whom I can collaborate. The art of painting market is a business that benefits the organizers who also do not abandon the professionals because they introduce us to international artists. G.F.B: The Corona pandemic has had a painful reality on life ... In your opinion, will there be an impact on the art world as a whole in terms of creative, intellectual, methods and expression techniques? MA: Certainly, the Corona virus has had a great impact on our lives, not only at the level of the work but also on the whole world, in particular at the level of external participations, but the most interesting and extraordinary thing in this ban, we lived our art through virtual exhibitions which allowed us to overcome this crisis by publishing our works and participating in exhibitions around the world, which made life the big world in a small size electronic system, actually big in terms of influence and proliferation. It has allowed us to overcome all the obstacles between the capitals of the world, which is why I say that the Corona pandemic has broken down the barriers of social movement, through the media sites. G.F.B: What is the true standard of the artist’s scholarship, fame or distinctive works? MA: The answer to this question is very important because it brings us to the most distant point in various fields, educational, cultural, political, historical, education occupies a very important element that the individual receives from his family through his school and his community. If the individual is intelligent, he feels beauty regardless of his reasons and the extent of his taste as he has the keys to all forms of arts, including the visual arts, therefore standards are formed and the artist becomes more responsible for his creative works. 66 JUNE 2021

G.F.B: To what extent have works of art been affected by the electronics industry? MA: The electronic industry has become inevitable, but an intelligent artist is the one who can exploit this important part of life and can fit in with modernity, all of this is only achieved through honesty in his works. The artist’s talent can create a special market for his art and the atmosphere capable of attracting client magically through his brushes, models and his wide imagination, which gives work a vibrant heart overflowing with brilliance, creativity, unlike the electronic industry which gives aesthetics, but lacks spirit, here comes into play the taste of man which is an important factor in the process of acquisition.

Life is full of experiences, semantics, symbols on different names and titles, which is why the term spiritual father stands out. When I talk about myself, I find at the beginning of my journey my love for Impressionism, and among the Impressionist artists who influenced me, “Renoir and Melody de Moi”, after the experience of searching for the pain, I found myself close to the work of the abstract artist «Nicolas De Staël», where he inspired me by his style and the way he works, which pushed me to follow his footsteps. Here he made sure that the spirits are recruited soldiers, so I searched for his works and tried to get to the point where he reached.

Man does not choose to be an artist, but that art chooses the artist.

G.F.B: What is the true standard of the artist’s grant, is it fame? Or his distinctive works? MA: The artist’s fame has a greater bearing on determining this standard, which I find incompatible with the work of other artists who have not taken their real chance. Some of the works of these people go beyond, those who made their name with the power of presence and presentation. The stage at which they emerged was a major factor in their visibility and their names remain withheld. FM

Dr. KHAWLA EL HASSEN and high rates of domestic violence and organized crime under Corona

JUNE 2021

Homes have become a «very dangerous place» for victims of domestic violence during the Corona pandemic. New violence has joined the cycle of other ones, the Mediterranean region faces more humanitarian emergencies than anywhere else in the world with large numbers of refugees due to civil wars, political crises and social /economic instability added to the increase in crime and violence during the Corona pandemic, which restricted the movement of people and their extended stay at home, leading to women and children being exposed to more violence than before, especially within struggling families.

GF&B MAGAZINE | Issue 5

G.F.B: Is the increase in rates of domestic violence during the Corona pandemic caused by internal or external causes? KH: It is certain that the spread of the Corona virus has strongly contributed to the unprecedented increase in rates of domestic violence in the world, especially against Arab women in view of the presence of two main factors: the masculine nature in our Arab world in which oppression is practiced against women, low level of education and social culture towards women. This is why we find the patriarchal culture in Arab countries towards artificial laws against women’s violence so weak that it even violates divine laws. Intervention: We suppose that our Arab societies have acquired a new culture which corresponds to the current development that we are experiencing today. Yes, the situation of women is different from what it was in previous decades, but what is the percentage of their appearance in our Arab societies at the level of government representation (managerial positions)? That in itself falls within the category of violence against women. However, there are many forms of violence, such as (psychological, sexual, exclusion and deprivation), our proven statistics reflect this reality, as the achievements of women’s work make them extraordinary partners in the decision making. G.F.B: Which one is most vulnerable to human trafficking in terms of human sex and age groups with regard to place and time? KH: Human trafficking is the modernized face of slavery. Women and girls are the most vulnerable groups, as women represent 49% of the total victims, while girls represent 23% of the victims. This type of organized crime is prevalent in large-scale developing countries, in areas of conflict and armed conflict. Generally, women are exploited by deception and coercion into prostitution, which in turn generates huge profits for criminal networks. It should be noted that trafficking in women for the purpose of sexual exploitation exists in all regions of the world, whether as country of origin, country of transit or country of destination. Tempted by the promises of decent work, leaving their homes and traveling to what they see as a better life, women and children in developing countries 74

and vulnerable sectors of society, often find themselves in inhumane conditions and a life of servitude for forced labor as well as domestic servitude and others. Labor-intensive jobs and other illegal activities such as theft, drug cultivation, sale of counterfeit goods or forced begging. Human trafficking is closely linked to migrant smuggling activities, as migrants may be victims of forced labor throughout their journey. Migrant smugglers have to work in inhumane conditions to pay for their illegal passage across international borders and at sea if they do not lose their lives. G.F.B: To what extent have wars and internal fights within societies contributed to the increase in crime and trafficking in human beings? KA: Unfortunately, the Arab region is currently suffering from civil strife, and it is one of the most devastating social phenomena for societies in the modern world. Half of the Arab countries today suffer, directly or indirectly, to varying degrees, from conflicts, the accumulation of governance deficits has prolonged association with the fragmentation of rebel groups and the spread of extremist ideologies, can perpetuate struggles, undermine peacemaking efforts, and growing evidence from countries affected by opposition indicates that these conflicts seriously damage the health of citizens, slow economic growth and implementation of human rights. It should be noted that there are two challenges that threaten the future of young people and make them more vulnerable to exploitation by human trafficking networks. The first challenge is that the Arab region is home to the largest number of refugees in the world and that many of them are refugees specifically due to conflict and political instability. The second challenge is the unprecedented explosion of youth, whose age varies between 30 percent of the population in Arab countries between 15 and 29. These factors are causing problems for governments in the region which are increasingly unable to generate decent jobs and livelihoods, especially for young people. The potential of the youth population explosion to spur conflict and instability depends on the provision of educational opportunities, and employment in particular. We have many studies and statistics in this regard, in our Arab societies, which were hit by the winds of change in regimes, which became the countries of the

Arab Spring, as well as ideological ideas with The sectarian concept that tore apart its social status resulting in murder, poverty, forced displacement. In addition to pushing some of them to become easy prey through social networking sites, which have become one of the aspects of this violence for all age groups under the name of «cybercrime ”, which has been a dangerous life-threatening turn due to the lack of control over their behavior and lifestyle, which has resulted in an increase in suicide cases. G.F.B: In your opinion, who is most influential in educating the behavior of society to curb the spread of crime, the government platform or the religious platform? I believe that the increasing intensity of crime and violence in society, governmental and non-governmental institutions, whether at family level or religious institution, must act to find adequate solutions. Therefore, we say that the professional media, with all its titles and forms, have a great responsibility to educate society on the seriousness of the crimes committed that threaten humanity, especially the existence of the space of social network sites, since sick and hostile souls take advantage of their prey through this window have become accessible to all. As for the religious institution, its impact has become limited given the spread of the Corona pandemic, distance education,has a negative impact on students’ control of the pace of their behavior, as they are released into an environment full of risk and freed from the element of control, the first steps of violence start from family and theory: Who witnesses violence, sick violence). Here it must be remembered that societies will witness a new type of violence, if everyone joins forces to stop it before it happens, considering that this new type of crimes combines hateful behavior, aggression and psychological representation by most perpetrators of these crimes. G.F.B: Has a man’s stay at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the increase in violence against women? KH: Let us agree up front that the conditions of the epidemic spread around the world are an unprecedented situation, as this pandemic has led to the imposition of a complete ban in many countries, which means that people were forced to stay at home, which prompted this situation to increase the psychological tension of men and

heads of families due to the state of uncertainty and anticipation of the unknown to come, the fear of losing one’s job, the deterioration of the economic living situation, and inability to meet the demands of the family. These fears have translated into violence against family members, especially weaker groups, namely women and girls, in the presence of a patriarchal culture that allows men to use violence against women. Beatings, insults and other forms of violence that escalated to murders. Official reports have indicated that rates of violence against women in Arab countries have increased from 50% to 60% during the year 2020, which is why the presence of men in the home for long periods of time. has contributed to considerably increase the suffering of women in the face of violence against them and to leave them with serious psychological consequences which we will witness in the future. G.F.B: Trafficking in human organs has become one of the most widespread crimes. How far has this phenomenon developed in a white apron way that combines desperation and the utter cruelty of human greed? KH: Sadly, some members of the White Army have lost their humanity and have become involved in criminal activity and organ harvesting operations in health conditions that lack sterilization and professionalism, and sell them at high prices. exorbitant amounts to needy patients, given the low culture of organ donation, since trafficking in human beings for the purpose of organ harvesting is active in many countries where waiting lists for transplants are very long , criminals took the opportunity to exploit the desperation of patients and potential donors, as health victims and life-threatening are the latest concern of human trafficking networks, carried out surgeries under secret conditions without medical supervision, possibly the issue of aging and an increase cases of diabetes in many developed countries, a need for more organ transplants making this crime more profitable.
